Personas

For all intents and purposes, the girl who lives at number fourteen is perfectly ordinary.

She is just a seventeen-year-old, who lives at home with her parents. They are both working. She lives in an ordinary house near to a town. It’s there that she works in an office as an admin support clerk in reception. She likes her work and travels there and back by bus. She has a boyfriend that she really likes. That day, she left the office right on time and caught the early bus. At home she got ready to go out. Travelling back into town by bus, she met her boyfriend in the foyer of the town cinema. After the movie they went to a favourite café, where they drank coffee and talked about the film. From there, he drove her home. That night, she was full of joy when she switched her bedside light out and settle down to sleep…

On the following morning, she woke up as a sixty-two-year-old widow, with a small dog.

She had been retired for several years and was living in a bungalow in another town. After breakfast, she got ready to walk her dog to a nearby park before going on to a convenient store where she would buy a paper, then return home.

It should be pointed out that this second persona, along with all of her friends, neighbours and relatives have absolutely no cognisance or memory of the first.

Whereas, you would think that most sensible people would consider that this entire event was, to say the very least, mindbogglingly remarkable, it is not.

Unbeknown to almost everyone, this sort of thing is happening all the time…
